Use teacups and saucers to create an indoor herb garden.
They're not just for sipping tea anymore! Stacy Sindlinger shares how vintage teacups can be recycled and used in a variety of unexpected ways.


  • Glue a vintage teacup to a saucer and glue the saucer onto the end of an old weathered broomstick for a unique bird feeder.
  • Drop votive candles into an array of teacups for an instant candlescape indoors or out.
  • Drill a drainage hole into the bottom of teacup and plant with an herb you use frequently. Group five or six together in a sunny kitchen window.
  • Use your favorite teacups in the bathroom to hold nail clippers and files or place a cup on your desk to hold small office necessities.
